stress package not available on aws EC2 instance - amazon-web-services

I am getting the package not available if I try to install stress package.
sudo yum install stress
Instance is connected to internet as I can run updates successfully. As I am trying out auto-scaling , is there any other way to do it. I have setup instance using Terraform.

You need amazon extra repository first. Use the following
sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel -y
sudo yum install stress -y

Terraform pre-install applications

new to Terraform, trying somethings to get to know terraform a bit better.
i'm creating my infrastructure via AWS using an EC2 instance.
i managed to create the instance with SG and everything, but i came across some difficulties installing apps (such as docker and so on).
i was wondering if there's a way i can tell the terraform file to pre-install docker, is there any way?
i found some similar issues about the matter here:
Terraform plugins
but i can't figure out if it answers my question fully.
can anyone please advise?
Usually for EC2 instance you would define user_data. User data allows you to:
perform common automated configuration tasks and even run scripts after the instance starts.
Which means that you can write your user data to install any applications you want on the instance, and configure them how you wish. Alternatively, you can create custom AMI and lunch instance using that.
There are many approaches to this, of the somewhat more common and simple you can either:
(1) use a user_data script that will bootstrap the EC2 instance for you
A sample user_data script might look like below. Borrowed from github/gonzaloplaza.
#!/bin/bash
# Install docker
apt-get update
apt-get install -y cloud-utils apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
add-apt-repository \
"deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
$(lsb_release -cs) \
stable"
apt-get update
apt-get install -y docker-ce
usermod -aG docker ubuntu
# Install docker-compose
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.21.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
And then embed it in your Terraform EC2 instance definition:
resource "aws_instance" "my-instance" {
ami = "ami-05210ba6bdf75db36" # Ubuntu 20.04LTS eu-central-1
instance_type = "m5.large"
key_name = "<key-path>"
user_data = "${file("install_docker.sh")}"
tags = {
Name = "Terraform"
}
}
(2) or use an AMI (virtual image) that has the requirement already met. AWS Marketplace enables you to use AMIs that other users built. You can check out for example Docker on Ubuntu AWS Marketplace link.
(3) And a more complex approach would be to build your own AMIs with for example Puppet and Packer. You can then upload those AMIs to your AWS Account and use with the instances you create.

wget not available on AWS EC2 (Bitnami)

I'm currently running a Bitnami Wordpress AMI on an EC2 instance (micro). When I connect to the machine via SSH and I try to execute wget I get the message command not found.
I tried to install it using apt-get but it's not available either. How can I install it?
For Amazon Linux the command is:
sudo yum install wget

Unable to install Webgoat on AWS. I get error about Dockerfile and Dockerrun.aws.json

I am trying to install webgoat on AWS. I am following the instructions given on https://github.com/WebGoat/WebGoat
I can get it up and running on my local box. But when I try to deploy it on AWS it gives error and complains about Dockerfile and Dockerrun.aws.json.
I go to elastic beanstalk. Then I create an application (of docker type). It asks me for the code and I give it the zip file from github. After several minutes it gives errors about Dockerfile and Dockerrun.aws.json.
Webgoat has several Dockerfiles, but no Dockerrun.aws.json. I am not sure how to resolve this.
What is the best way to deploy webgoat in aws?
Will appreciate any help I can get.
Finally I was able to install it using the info provided on these two sources.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/docker-basics.html
and https://github.com/WebGoat/WebGoat
Here are the steps:
sudo yum update -y
sudo yum install -y docker
sudo service docker start
sudo usermod -a -G docker ec2-user (Restart the server)
sudo docker pull webgoat/webgoat-8.0
sudo docker run -p 80:8080 -it webgoat/webgoat-8.0 /home/webgoat/start.sh
Make sure to modify the security group associated with the aws instance to allow http traffic. After that you should be able to access the app with this url:
http://:80/WebGoat/login

Unable to install Ansible in ECS optimized AMI

shell script I ran on ECS AMI
sudo yum -y install git
git clone git://github.com/ansible/ansible.git --recursive
cd ./ansible
git submodule update --init --recursive
sudo yum -y install python
sudo yum update
sudo make install
Above installation works with normal AMI, with ECS optimized AMI , I get error with make install
RuntimeError: autoconf error
make: *** [install] Error 1
Create your own AMI. Install what you need. Add docker and the ecs agent so it can participate in the ecs cluster. We happen to use packer to create our amis.

AWS code deploy agent not able to install?

Hi i am trying to install code deploy agent in my ec2 agent but not able to succeed
I m following below steps
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install awscli
sudo apt-get install ruby2.0
cd /home/ubuntu
sudo aws s3 cp s3://bucket-name/latest/install . --region region-name
sudo chmod +x ./install
sudo ./install auto
but ./install file is missing for me .
But I dont think its a problem with AMI as I used same steps with same AMI in different ec2 instance. Any one has any idea. please help me.
You need to fill in the bucket name and region name in sudo aws s3 cp s3://bucket-name/latest/install . --region region-name. If you are in us-east-1 you would use: aws-codedeploy-us-east-1 and us-east-1.
All the buckets follow that pattern so you can fill in another region if you are there instead.
See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/codedeploy/latest/userguide/how-to-set-up-new-instance.html for a complete list of buckets for each region.
